I just downloaded this book “Market Sense and Nonsense – How markets really work (and how they don’t) by Jack Schwager in my kindle.
I am a voracious reader, willing to read anything on Technical Trading. A new book by Schwager (Author of the New Market Wizards and more..) is a MUST read.

I think the book will be a wake up call for all analysts, including me. I will keep you posted on my reading.
